Abstract
Tuning of the electrical and optical properties of a series of polyphe nylenevinylene (PPV) derivatives has been demonstrated using photolumi nescence spectroscopy. The synthesis of the title compounds is describ ed and the effect of substituting electron-donating and electron-withd rawing groups in them is correlated with the photoluminescence spectra and electrochemical data. The compounds are shown to be suitable mode ls leading to an understanding of the behavior of conjugated polymers as active layers in light-emitting diodes.
